Help!
We have a woman from France on Lyme Friends who just had a baby. She was on Amox and Zithromax throughout the whole pregnancy, but I don't know the dosage. She doesn't speak good English at all.
She asked me what dose of Amoxicillin she should be taking during breastfeeding.
Does anyone know????
Also, just wanted to make sure the Zithromax is okay for breastfeeding too? I think it is.
A million thanks!
